Chicago's Rolfe voted MLS Player of the Week

New York, NY – Chicago Fire forward Chris Rolfe was voted the Major League Soccer Player of the Week on Monday for Week 21 of the 2013 season.

Rolfe's two-goal first half helped the Fire earn a 4-1 victory over visiting D.C. United on Saturday. He needed just 114 seconds to net his first goal of the night, getting himself on the end of a Joel Lindpere cross before finishing with a one-timed strike to the back of the net.

Moments before the first half whistle, Rolfe capped a well-worked move to run onto a through ball from Lindpere and chip it home for his first multi-goal game of the season.

The MLS Player of the Week award is selected each week by the North American Soccer Reporters. The group consists of members of online, print, television, and radio media.
